The
Government of India
has been indulging in double talk. At a time when
it claims to be finding ways and means of an 'honourable'
return of the refugees to their own homes in the
valley, it has hastened the process of
Islamization of the administration by recruitment
of Muslims, in violation of all norms and
procedures, to the posts vacated in the State and
Central government offices by the exiled
employees. It has also not made any attempt to
stop the plunder and arson of the properties left
behind by the Hindus. Nearly all the houses left
behind by the exiled Hindus have been looted and
vandalized. More than six thousand have been
torched so far and the process of destruction is
continuing unabated. At present, the valley of
Kashmir has turned into a purely Islamic enclave
in a secular-democratic India, ruled by
gun-totting terrorists but guarded at the
frontiers by Indian security forces at an
exorbitant price.
